Cometic Jaguar 3.8L XK6 .066in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 88mm Bore

If you're rebuilding the top end of a classic Jaguar with the 3.8L XK6 engine, getting the cylinder head gasket right is crucial for a reliable seal. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Cometic is built to handle the demands of these engines, offering a robust solution for both aluminum and cast iron blocks. It's designed to provide maximum sealing performance without needing additional sealants, making your rebuild process smoother.

Cometic constructs this gasket with multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are embossed and coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material capable of withstanding temperatures up to 482°F (250°C). This coating is essential for maintaining a seal under various load conditions and against different surface finishes. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, and the overall compressed thickness of this gasket is 0.066 inches with an 88mm bore, specifically suited for the Jaguar 3.8L XK6 engine and a range of other Jaguar models from the 1950s and 60s.
